The Truckee River aspens on fire on a cozy, fall day.

Tahoe locals like to talk about the three seasons you’ll find here: winter, summer, and construction. Although it may seem like Mother Nature skips over fall and spring, we’d like to reveal one of Lake Tahoe’s best kept secrets: autumn.

The aspen trees are ablaze in yellow–endless meadows and vistas of orange. The days are still long enough to hit the trails after work. Highway 89 isn’t a parking lot. Local restaurants and grocery stores are not zoos. There is a slight chill in the air, the Tahoe sky is on fire with cotton candy sunsets, and the hopeful anticipation of an epic winter is palpable. The animals are preparing to hunker down while you sip spiced lattes or mulled wine by the fire.

Here are some fun family activities and events to check out in Tahoe City, Squaw Valley, and Truckee!

It’s a lovely time of year to pack your bags for a quick and quiet getaway at Lake Tahoe! With our fall promotion you can save up to 30%. Rates start at $118 per night through November 21, 2012!…

The crowds have ceased, so you won’t fight traffic. Autumn mornings are crisp, yet sunny. The leaves are changing color. You can unwind in our spa and gaze up at the waning harvest moon over Squaw Valley. There’s so much happening around the lake you’ll definitely stay entertained, and there’s even fun for the whole family!

Enjoy the sights and smell of fall at Resort at Squaw Creek’s Harvest Festival | October 5-14

What’s your favorite way to ring in fall? Does it involve pumpkin spice or comfort foods?

The leaves are changing, the weather’s growing chillier and it’s that time of year to mull some wine, and stock up on your woollies. If you are looking for a festive way to ring in October, then head out tomorrow to the The Downtown Truckee Wine, Walk & Shop, now in it’s eighth year. This local favorite draws approximately 1,000 guests yearly to stroll, sip, shop and taste in historic downtown Truckee.

Your ticket includes a commemorative wine glass to sample wine at over 25 venues, 5 food tickets, a program with a map to all participating venues and a goodie bag.

As a fantastic perk, the proceeds from this year’s event benefit the non-profit recipient, Girls on the Run – Sierras; a prevention program for young girls ages 8-13. If you would like more information about this organization, please visit their websitehere.

Lucille Ball stomped with the best of them! You can too.

Get your feet wet at harvest time and stomp out hunger on September 30th from 4-7pm! Sierra Senior Services and Truckee River Winery join forces in conjunction with the 8th Annual Truckee Wine, Walk and Shop for an autumn-inspired event to benefit local Meals on Wheels and Senior Nutrition programs. Join others at Truckee River Winery and experience one of the oldest traditions in wine making: grape stomping! They’re holding a competition that pits teams of four against each other, but you can still enjoy this event without having to take off your socks and shoes. For only $15 as a spectator you can enjoy tastings, appetizers and live music!

The participation fee for each teams of four is $150. Not only does it benefit the cause of local hunger, each team will receive complimentary wine tastings, a glass of wine, visits to the food buffet and a chance to compete for prizes. The teams will compete for 2 minutes at a time and the winner will be based on the most liquid. Additional prizes will be awarded for stain and style.
